This entry shows the status of your CPU, fan, warning for overall system status. Frequency/Voltage Control Use this menu to specify your settings for frequency/voltage control. Load Optimized Defaults Use this menu to load factory default settings into the BIOS for stable system performance operations. BIOS Setting Password Use this menu to set BIOS setting Password. Save & Exit Setup Save changes to CMOS and exit setup. Exit Without Saving Abandon all changes and exit setup. Frequency/Voltage Current FSB Clock It shows the current FSB clock of . Read-only. Adjust CPU Ratio This item allows you to adjust the CPU ratio. Setting range is from [8] to [50]. Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clock This item is used to auto detect the DIMM and PCI slots. When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Spread Spectrum When the motherboard's clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, set to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. 11
